FJRay, Yeah, and get closer to God at the same time!! :D :haha:

I've heard that starting and running for short periods creates a lot of moisture, particularly in the muffler cans. This may be counterproductive. I know when I start mine in 40ish degree weather, after 2 minutes or so, I get steam out the pipes for another couple of minutes until it reaches...

Blueman Sounds like a hit! I'd watch it! :D

Tom, Nah, he's just an old dirt biker that's trying to break old habits. :D

Rick, You know, I was in my too damn cold garage last night doing something when I remembered your post. I whipped out my tape measure, and I'll be dipped in dogsh*t, but my pipes were off EXACTLY like yours. :bigeyes: Now, I have a pretty good eye, and haven't checked really close yet...

FJRick, Stupid question, but that was with the bike on the centerstand, correct? As kenoman says, check for damage underneath. Sounds a bit strange to me, but here's hoping there's nothing going on there. Best of luck with and enjoy the new Scoot!

Jeff, just don't wait for the confirmation from Yamaha that you have been officially transferred over. They don't send one. I called and asked after not getting anything for a few weeks. I did get a printed receipt from the dealership that changed me over. Just re-read your post - I wrote...

LOL! Yeah, the Dingle Arm connected to the Dingle Berry! :haha:

+1 for Keith - incredibly nice and helpful guy.

Nothing there Feejer related that I can see. Only the older FJ model...

Scoot, Gotta agree. Besides, how much heat is the AVERAGE rider gonna generate in these tires anyway? Now track days are a differerent story obviously, and hard rides through the twisties on a regular basis another. But somone who rides THE PACE or similar, I can't see much of an impact from...

SP, Nice ride and nice writeup. Thanks for sharing! ;)

There is another option for the power cable, if you are using or considering using a Powerlet connection. My '05 came with Powerlets front and rear, the front in the right side of the cockpit fairing. I have ordered a custom length cable from Powerlet for it - 2' on the Power cord, 5.5' on the...

Ari, Very glad to hear you are ok, and still have your sense of humor! ;) That is a nasty looking result. Best of luck getting back on two wheels again soon.

FlyingLow, Screw that. The kid should have at least asked someone to check his work if he had ANY doubt about what he did. If he didn't have any doubts, based on the description, he's too incompetent for mechanically related work. We are the ones that pay hard earned money for substandard...

Hmmm, looks like the Brain Gene didn't quite make it into the Pool... :D

Hi Horsepower Natural Selection. What a waste. :angry:

Yeah, that was a good AC episode. Loved how Grandma renamed Jorge Posada, "George". Credit to him for smiling about it all. Everyone in my house is addicted to 24 - my wife, 2 daughters, and me. Old Samwise is gonna think the forces of Mordor have crossed dimensions or at least genres when...

Fencer, Hehehe, back in another century, I had K&Ns on my 750 Ninja. My "wash and re-oil kit" was gasoline and whatever oil was handy! :P Sacrilegious? Maybe. ;)

Afterburn, First, its bennEy. Second, thanks for the tip, but that's exactly what I did. Glad it works for you, but for many others it doesn't. The folks on the GPS Passion forum I mentioned are techheads of the highest order, and have way more experience with these things than I ever will...
